To Have and to Hold

Here's an idea for shower favors that are chicer by the dozen: sweets served in individual eggcups that guests can then take home with them. Mismatched vintage styles found at antiques stores, flea markets, or online auctions are especially charming; kitchenware stores often sell newer versions in a variety of coordinating patterns and colors. The dainty favors can be filled with either homemade or store-bought treats, such as the coconut macaroons shown here, then passed to guests on a tray.
